I can only remember when Stephen King decided to have a leg swipe in a ruck contest against Jeff White.  Result?  Jeff White has metal plates put in his face.  Tom Hawkins throws an errant elbow and breaks Maysie's eye socket.  Last year, Hawkins again pushes Maysie in the back and his hammy goes.

......And now this with Clarrie.  Where is the duty of care?

....

Of course there is duty of care but I can’t see any way possible that Selwood was trying to kick Oliver’s hand.  Surely that’s a bridge to far

    Didn't Oliver have 11 contested possessions in the last - with a broken thumb?

    Correct. But was Chandler trying to knock out the player he concussed?

    Great call. The difference between “careless” and “intentional” is a grey area

    When Bomber Thomson was asked about it post match he basically said it was White's fault. I'm still angry about that one.

    At no stage did I say Selwood was trying to kick Clarrie's hand.  My point is, if a player is trying to take possession of the ball, a kick in hope clearly has a potential to injure the opposing player.  There is the duty of care right there.

    I'm not entirely sure if I'm correct here, but the feeling I get is that you don't like the Geelong Football Club?

    Accidents will happen on a footy field, but it wasn’t a case of a player coming in from the opposite direction or being obscured by team mates. Oliver and Selwood were contesting as direct opponents. To hack wildly at the footy when your opponent is going for the ball is bush league. Of course, being Selwood it isn’t even mentioned

    I didn't particularly like Cats on 8th Sept 1947..

    If an ostensibly legal side bump can become a reportable offense if the recipient falls on his head, then kicking in danger when the ball was not even on the ground, was being contested and caused a serious injury should also be a reportable offense.

    AFL wake up!

    What might be the reason(s) for Oliver not playing after surgery? Is it (1) bone structure protection to stop further damage? (2) to allow the surgical scar to heal? (3) pain, or, conversely, having to play with a numbed hand which makes it hard to use that hand?

    Never fear Jake Melksham is here.

    I read that and instantly thought that Salem was trolling Demonland.

    That's ludicrous by Salem to even suggest Melksham to replace Oliver.

    Melky and Dunstan combined wouldn't make up for the loss of Clarry.

    Listen to Salem's press conference (not v interesting) but he actually mishears the question. Salem says he doesn't know whether Oliver will miss or not - the journo then asks if he's saying there's a chance Oliver will play. I can't remember the exact wording, but Salem thought he said, who could come in for Oliver, to which Salem replies that there are several midfielders ready like Dunstan, Melksham...

    Nek minnit, Dunstan's a shoo-in!

    Good to see Turner available.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the team.

    I wonder if Howes can force his way in, in the time left of the H&A games.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
